Ipod not showing content

My GF bought a ipod classic 160gig a few months ago because we were planning to go on a long holiday, I helped her to fill it up with music and podcats and etc so she would have something to listen to while travelling using Itunes.
It all worked fine until we got landed in Malaysia and she connected her ipod to a computer where itunes was installed to recharge it, it asked if she wanted to reset it but she pressed no.
Recharged the ipod and afterwards when she tried to use it she cant find any music or anything.
If you go into Settings and About it says there is 0 audio, viedeo and photos but that there 56,5GB of other.
Trying to start it with itunes it want to erase the ipod (because its not the same computer). When I start it with yamipod or winamp it is possible to see all the content though, so its still there.
Anyone have any idea what I could do to get it back working? Connecting it to the original computer/itunes it not an option because that computer is literally on the other side of the world.
Model : MB150
Version: 1.1.2 PC
Help much appreciated!

If you go into the ipod...without going into itunes first, you can see all the songs in the music file but they are of course randomly placed so its practically impossible to view them in any kind of order. Apparently the other is for everything that the ipod needs to run and for album art and no one has said why the **** everything dumps into the "other" folder. This has been happening to people since september and apple hasn't done anything to remedy this!

  • 3rd generation nano entire contents of ipod not showing up..

    3rd generation nano entire contents of ipod not showing up, itunes says to restore, however I am pretty certain this erases all contents. Is there anyway to retrieve the seemingly lost content, what do I do? I have had little to no prior issues with this product and have not recently updated my itunes. Please help!

    Hey there,
    A file or some files may have become corrupt somehow during connecting or disconnecting the unit. Try putting it into Disk Mode and see if that helps. To put it into Disk Mode, hold the Menu and Select buttons until the Apple logo appears. When it does, immediately press and hold the Center an Play/Pause buttons until you see a confirmation that your iPod has been put into Disk Mode.
    If you are able to do this, it may be a good idea to restore the iPod to its original settings. Keep in mind that by doing this you are erasing all the music and files from your iPod so make sure they are backed up on your computer somewhere. More on restoring your iPod can be found in the Apple document below.
    Hope this helps.

  • IPod not showing up on computer or in iTunes

    My iPod mini (It's the older version of iPod mini in the darker colors) recently stopped showing up on my iMac and iTunes. It charges, but since it doesn't show up, I can't add music or anything.
    I already looked at the support page Apple has for this problem and I tried everything and nothing helped me. The only thing I didn't try was resetting my iPod, which I don't think will work because not only does my iPod not show up, but neither does my sister's and my mom's.
    My sister has the same model of iPod mini as mine, and my mom has the slightly newer mini (with the brighter colors).
    Does anyone have any suggestions how I can fix this problem? I gave up on it for awhile, but now I really need it resolved. Thank you in advance.

    It sounds like the port or cable is having a problem. First try a different cable.
    If the cable doesn't fix things then try resetting the PMU (Power Management Unit) then see if the iPod will show up.

  • 7th gen iPod not showing up in Windows 8 anymore

    7th gen iPod not showing up in Windows 8 anymore. Tried all the apple troubleshooting. Help?

    I have tried all the 'Rs' that Apple recommend. As said, I can't hook up the iPod to my computer. I have tried to reset the iPod manually (holding the select and menu button) - but this doesn't work.
    If there is another (manual) way to restore the iPod, I would love to hear about it.
    As said: as for restoring the iPod - I can't get any contact with my iPod with my computer at all.

  • Updated iTunes and iPod software  iPod not showing up under devices in iTunes

    Updated software since computer said there were updates.  Now I'm having trouble with iPod not showing up under devices.  Have gone through all the steps under troubleshooting.  Nothing helped.  Had this same problem periodically in the past, as well.  Itunes also says I have an app I reinstalled today due to it not working properly, and it won't synch with iPod.  (earlier today, iPod was showing up and synching properly, but this app wasn't getting downloaded to the iPod.  Just shows up in iTunes.  HAve tried restarting computer, iTunes and iPod, but no luck.

    Thank you but I have tried this and it still does not show up.  I even tried to delete itunes and reload it but the computer says that it is not able to delete itunes.

  • Since i updated lion the pointer will not show contents when i hover the pointer over the item....

    Since i updated lion on mac pro the pointer will not show contents whil hovering the pointer over the item.... ???

    If you use extensions like <i>Adblock Plus</i> or <i>NoScript</i> or <i>Flashblock</i> that can block content then make sure that such extensions aren't blocking content.<br />
    You can see the installed Firefox extensions in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions".
    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).

  • IPod not showing up in iTunes source list

    Hi,
    My fifth gen iPod is not showing up in the iTunes source list. I've tried the troubleshooting recommendations (unistall and then reinstall iTunes, delete the iPod/bin file and then update iPod software, etc.) The only one I have not tried is restoring the iPod to factory settings because that would erase the entire contents and since I can't see it in iTunes I couldn't add them back in.
    Does anyone know what I can do to get the iPod to show up in the iTunes source list?
    Thanks

    Hi. I'm not sure I'm using this discussion form correctly. Anyway, I'm on an iBook. OSX 10.2.8 and recently purchased a fifth gen ipod. connected everything just fine and have been importing some CDs to itunes and updating songs on the ipod for a couple of days. Listening to music, the whole deal.
    today, was trying to eject my ipod and computer froze. Restarted my computer and everything is gone from my ipod. Started the procedure of updating the ipod to reload the songs (still in itunes library) and realized that ipod is not showing up in my itunes source list.
    Did the 5 Rs. Haven't reinstalled software cause not sure how.
    Any help?
    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    First try resetting your iPod again (several times
    may be needed). Connect it to your computer, and see
    what happens.
    If your iPod appears in "My Computer", then have you
    tried out all the suggestions in this article?:
    iPod appears in Windows but not in iTunes
    In your case, you'll probably need to assign your
    iPod a different drive letter (because your computer
    may be recognizing the iPod as a network device).
    If your iPod doesn't appear in "My Computer" however,
    then try the following. If it already does, then
    assign it a different letter following the
    instructions further below.
    I'm presuming that you've read through all the
    suggestions in this article below, correct?:
    iPod doesn't appear in Windows or in
    iTunes
    Restoring may be worth it, by the way, because
    restoring formats your iPod to your computer, so it
    may be recognized after doing this.
    Have you tried the Five R's?
    The
    Five R's
    If there are other hardware devices that are
    connected to your computer's USB ports (printers,
    camera), then try disconnecting them, resetting your
    iPod, and connect your iPod to your computer once
    more.
    Try getting your computer to recognize your iPod by
    also: operating in manual disk mode:
    Putting your iPod into disk mode
    Assigning your iPod a different drive letter
    Now, see if your iPod is recognized by Control Panel,
    and try assigning it a different drive letter:
    1 - Don’t plug in your iPod yet.
    2 - Go to "START -> Control Panel -> Admin Tools (if
    you don't see this, click on "classic view" button on
    the left panel) -> Computer Management."
    3 - Click on the "Disk Management" button in the left
    panel area.
    4 - Now, with "Computer Management" and Control Panel
    windows opened, reset your iPod, and connect it.
    5 - Right-click on your iPod's listing there (after a
    few moments when it gets recognized in this drive
    window), and click on "Change Drive letter and
    Paths". Then the "Change..." button.
    Here's what it should look like:
    Assign your iPod the letter "M" "N", "O" or the like
    (further along in the alphabet).
    For more details, see this article:
    Windows confuses iPod with network device /
    Changing drive letter
    I hope this helps you, post back if you have issues
    with performing any of these things.
